Community Asset Transfer Event – Rural Scottish Communities
Rural Community Asset Ownership and Acquisition in Scotland
Tuesday 6th June 2023 | 10am | Online
An event for Scottish rural communities interested in community ownership and acquisition
Our partner, Dr Danielle Hutcheon, Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health at Glasgow Caledonian University, is currently leading a project looking specifically at community asset transfer policy and practice across the devolved nations of the UK. The project specifically focuses on experiences of rural communities and they specific inequalities they may face.
As part of the project, they are running an online knowledge exchange event for Scottish rural communities who have been through an asset transfer process, are currently going through one or are thinking about it in the future.
The focus of the events will be on any facilitators or barriers they may face, and also focusing on Scottish legislation.
The event is for community members only and will not be attended by policymakers or practitioners, to allow rural community members to share their experiences in a safe and neutral space.
We urge Sheds to attend!
As many Scottish Sheds have been a part of this process and it is one of the most favourable and effective ways of securing a Shed building in their community – your input for the future of the movement is greatly appreciated!
